Hi,

Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, I'm not attacking you personally :)

I try in the past few years to attract more people in my country to
use (Object) Pascal and FPC. On Friday, I've been on an open source
event named August Penguin, it was the 6 year that this event exists.
In the past 3 events I have tried to make some sort of awareness
regarding FPC, and it still does not work. I have created a lecture
and gave it twice (about Object Pascal and FPC), still did not made
any waves.. On Friday, when I mentioned Pascal, I received reactions
of "will stop talking about it already". I must say that the audience
that I keep trying to get are developers etc.. and not any one on the
street.

I joined this malling list not that long ago, however I use FPC for
several years now, and I also used Delphi for more then 7 years... So
how can you know who is new ?
